  I’m not able to copy a post. I’ve tried various methods of copying a post but have so far been unsuccessful. Clicking on the “Copy a post” in the left hand menu just takes me a to a new blank post. Clicking on “Add New Post” also takes me to a new blank post with the Copy button that’s usually near the bottom noticeably absent. Has there been some sort of change made, or is there a glitch?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  That sounds rather odd!

  Before punting this up to the next level, I want to suggest a couple of quick things.

  Regarding the New Post page not displaying the usual Copy post below it, can you confirm that the Writing Helper is selected in your Screen Options (see http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/ on where that’s at)?

  Also, can you confirm that the Writing Helper isn’t minimized? If below the post editor, there is a bar for “Writing Helper” without the rest of that section, try hovering over the bar and clicking the triangle on the right side.

  Of course, neither one of those things directly impacts the left navigation menu “Copy a Post” not working, but trying to narrow down the issue.

  Cheers!
